You dodn't worrry about it. My experiencec was with the really old guys in a very traditional country area. Japanese people are fantastic, and like I said, discrimination is a little bit Taboo in Japan due to the history. It's looked upon as being a very bad thing.. Those signs I believe are mainly in country fishing towns.. very old minded cultural Japanese.. What those signs REALLY mean is: "All undesirables Keep Out". It's the translation that many foreigners get stcuk with.. three apartmenst where I live have Japanese people in. My mates wife down the road, eightenn years is from Japan. My sons friends in the house around the corner are Japanese. We all hate the local black guys, but it really is accepted here.. Some people hate Japanese, Americans, Aboriginies, Koreans, whatever.. Who cares... I take people for who they are and not what they look like.. I love Japanese style.. If someone is noisy, rude, dirty, bad, get rid of em... |

Personally speaking, I've never had any trouble going anywhere for not being Japanese. Occasionally I have for not speaking Japanese, but I proved this distinction by learning it. Had no problem since.
I've never seen a "Japanese only" sign in Japan in all my years, although I know they used to exist and perhaps you can still find one. That said, there are definitely "English only" signs in the US, and certainly a ton of "whites only" signs in the past. These things are usually a matter of time before they disappear in modern societies. Interestingly enough, there are often signs saying you can't have a tattoo (which is associated with Yakuza). They make very bad customers. |

The problem started with these Russian Fisherman getting drunk on Vodka and Sake within the bath, and basiccaly getting out of control and making a nuisance of themselves. I believe it started with one sign on one establishemnt, and then other's followed. I do not think such a sign would be tolerated, and ideally would be frowned upon by locals in larger cities in Japan. |
